Another Quick-fix!

Hot days call for simple finger food. With all the summer weather, Reno Man and I decided it would be very nice to have our lunch on our deck. I wanted to make egg salad sandwiches but I didn't quite have the right bread or the other items one ususally find in an egg salad sandwich. I did have hot dog buns, cilantro and red onion. So that was what I used. Mashed boiled eggs with finely chopped cilantro, red onion, mayonaise, french's mustard, salt and pepper. I also took out some on the bread from the centers of the hot dog buns and stuffed them with the egg salad. They worked well.

Meanwhile, I had some egg rolls in my little toaster oven. Those were also good. Ofcourse they were store bought (again from Costco). I mixed a sauce of sweet and sour and some Vietnamese hot sauce. Surprisingly enough, it worked well with the egg rolls. Sitting out on the deck with a couple of cokes with this weird combination, seemed to work.

Zerelli's Mediterranean Market

A lovely day for a walk to Elgin Corners and a visit to Zerelli's Mediterranean Market to get freshly baked bread for lunch. The market is quite large for a little neighbourhood mall. Its filled with lots of goodies from greek salads, assortment of cheeses and meats to sweet treats to olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

The bread featured here is foccacia. Made fresh everyday. Aside from bread, we also bought some very nice and lean capicolo and a piece of baklava.
I was starving and quickly slapped these sandwiches together and put them in a make shift panini press. I used a regular non-stick pan on the heat, put the sandwiches on that pan and used a cast iron pan to press the sandwich.
One sandwich had roast beef with jalapeno Havarti and organice greens. The other had capicolo, goat cheese and organic greens.
Both turned out pretty yummy. Perhaps next time I might not turn the heat on so high as to not scorch the bread.
